Manchester United will face Wolves while Manchester City will take on Swansea City in the quarter-final round of the FA Cup.

The draw was held on Monday following the conclusion of the fifth round of FA Cup play, and quarter-final matches will be played on the weekend of 16 March.

Manchester United advanced to the quarterfinal round after taking down reigning champions Chelsea by a 2-0 scoreline on Monday, behind goals from Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba.

Wolves will be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s next task after the fellow Premier League side edged Bristol City 1-0 to advance to the quarters.

Manchester City had little problem with League Two side Newport County, as the Premier League title contenders picked up a 4-1 victory away from home.

Now, they’ll take on Swansea, who cruised past Brentford 4-1 in Wales in their fifth-round match-up.
